In response to a plea for a new record David tweeted "another lifetime".

Are we to assume his interest in creating music is over? Is he going to while away the hours snapping pics of the flowers and deer while he ages into senility? I don't blame him. Music today is manure. Don't be part of it.

Saw that too and was saddened to see it. Although he does have a history of changing his mind about things - never touring again and then touring...

I wish we had some more insight into what was going on. It's been a long time since he was interviewed and so much has happened in his life. It seems strange that all this speculation about a new album on Universal may come to naught. He is listed as an artist on Universal in Scandinavia - but maybe that's a residue of something that fell apart. I believe that company has seen many changes lately. But there's also the fact that Rupert Coulson was working with him, Jan Bang was said to have hosted him at his studio for a while and some comment from Alex James of Blur that David was looking for a writing studio.

Would a reasonable guess be that he was working on something but that record company changes or perhaps lack of support for the material he was producing has led to its dropping? Does anyone know anything?

I wish he would open-up just a little... How hard is it to say something like 'music doesn't interest me at the moment' or 'I have no plans to make another solo recording' ? ... If there are other interests that have eclipsed it, such as the photography, or something else, then why not say so?... even if it will form nothing more than posting them on Twitter or wherever. We don't have to know anything about his heath, or love life, or current home/location, or any other personal aspect, but as he still has many-many followers of his creative self it would be nice if he could express something about where he is currently [even if its zero].... please David, just put us out of our misery.

I posted a question on twitter when David wrote "another lifetime" in response to someone asking about the possibility of a new album... I asked: "current mood or final decision?" --- no response to that.
